of the IFS on Files Sizes, Authorities, and Directory Sizes...etc so I can Query them, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Am I missing something obvious?

No, you haven't missed anything obvious or apparent. There are a few ways to get the information. If you just want the file information such as name, type, created, last updated, owner and a few other attributes, you can use the DSPLNK OUTPUT(*PRINT) but the output is a little hard to work with and doesn't include any authority information except ownership. If you need information for the files/object contained in the directory, you must use API's.

Note that some objects will not be files or directories. I would assume that some commands to retrieve this type of information will be forthcoming in later releases, but I have nothing but experience on which to base my assumption. Good luck. John
